John Locke

John Locke
The Legislative cannot transfer the Power of Making Laws to any other hands. For it being but a delegated Power from the People, they who have it, cannot pass it over to others. The People alone can appoint the Form of the Commonwealth, which is by Constituting the Legislative, and appointing in whose hands that shall be.
John Locke
Affectation is an awkward and forced imitation of what should be genuine and easy, wanting the beauty that accompanies what is natural.
John Locke
No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience.
John Locke
Beating is the worst, and therefore the last means to be us'd in the correction of children, and that only in the cases of extremity, after all gently ways have been try'd, and proved unsuccessful which, if well observ'd, there will very seldom be any need of blows.
John Locke
It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.
John Locke
Where there is no law there is no freedom.
John Locke
